• Coyotes and recolonizing wolves: social rank mediates risk-conditional behaviour at ungulate carcasses (2008, methodology): “For wolfkilled carcasses, observation sessions began immediately following carcass detection (see Atwood et al. 2007 for methods used to detect carcasses).”
• Spatial Partitioning of Predation Risk in a Multiple Predator–Multiple Prey System (2009, background): “…may have the primary effect of reducing risk of direct predation associated with wolves, they may have the secondary effect of making elk more vulnerable to direct predation by cougars (Puma concolor), which prefer to hunt structurally complex habitats (Kunkel et al. 1999, Atwood et al. 2007).”
• Large predators and trophic cascades in terrestrial ecosystems of the western United States (2009, background): “However, other species in a predator guild can also affect trophic cascades (e.g., Atwood et al., 2006), as can human activities.”
• Habitat heterogeneity and mammalian predator–prey interactions (2012, background): “Atwood et al. 2009). Similarly, use of a certain habitat by a given prey species may decrease its exposure to an avian predator and increase its exposure to a terrestrial predator (e.g. Korpimäki et al. 1995). According to Preisser et al. (2005), ‘predatorpredator facilitation’ accounts for ca.”
• A review of the population dynamics of mule deer and black‐tailed deer Odocoileus hemionus in North America (2013, background): “However, an observational study in Montana, USA, during wolf recolonization showed that higher wolf populations actually resulted in lower predation risk for mule deer (Atwood et al. 2007, 2009), and the overall impact of wolves on mule deer remains unresolved.”
